However, although Garmin’s success can’t be questioned, for many riders there are so many Garmin Edge devices available that it is hard to know which is most suitable for your needs.<br /><br />To help you select the best Garmin Edge for you, we have set out below an exhaustive list and description for each Edge product.<br /><br /><br />Note: if you are struggling with some of Garmin’s features please see the Jargon Buster at the end of this article.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The Edge 20 and 25 are aimed at cyclists that are fairly new to using GPS devices and all they really want is to monitor their time, distance, speed and GPS position.<br /><br />As is quite standard with entry-level GPS devices the Edge 20 and 25 allow you to customise your chosen data fields and they include Garmin’s Auto Lap, Auto Pause and Auto Scroll features.<br /><br /><br />However, what is a little bit different and stands the entry-level Garmin devices out from the crowd, is that in addition to standard GPS tracking they also use GLONASS which increases the speed and accuracy of location data.<br /><br />The battery life of up to 10 hours is low compared to the other Edge devices, however for many it will be enough to monitor short rides for up to a week or one or two longer outings before charging.<br /><br />To get more out of the Edge 25 you could purchase a Garmin heart rate monitor and cadence sensor (the Edge 20 does not have any ANT+ compatibility).<br /><br />Unlike the Edge 20, the Edge 25 can be linked up to a smart phone to wirelessly upload to Garmin Connect Mobile, receive notifications of incoming calls, and utilise Garmin’s LiveTrack.<br /><br />giorgi ylistaurihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01877791169248153250noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2369495865536069808.post-36012039483738344612017-08-14T11:36:00.002-07:002017-08-14T11:36:24.645-07:00Goal Zero Nomad 20 Solar Panel Review: Lively Powering Up your Gadgets Outdoors<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #555555; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 1.625em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; zoom: 1;"><img alt="Goal Zero Nomad 20 Solar Panel Review" height="216" src="http://bestportablesolargenerators.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Goal-Zero-Nomad-20-Solar-Panel-Review.jpg" width="320" /></div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #555555; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 1.625em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; zoom: 1;">Solar generators are expensive.

Whether you are a recent college grad or a veteran with several years of experience if you do not have a profile on LinkedIn and don’t know how to make the best use of all the available features for job search you are missing out on one of the best tools for finding jobs. Unfortunately, many people don’t understand how LinkedIn works and how to make best use of all the features. Below we highlight some of the key feature you can leverage.<br /><br /><br /><br /><h2>Search for Jobs</h2><br />LinkedIn has rapidly become the leading job search platform where members from every industry and job function can:<br /><ul><li>Quickly find career opportunities in any location</li><li>Receive automatic recommendations and notifications based on job searches</li><li>Apply to positions using just the LinkedIn profile</li><li>Save interesting jobs for later resume submission</li></ul><br />So many people are capitalizing on LinkedIn, from getting LinkedIn training for sales teams to individual entrepreneurs using it as a content marketing platform to job seekers using it to empower their career. For them it starts with the resume.<br /><br />The process is actually quite simple:<br /><br /><h2>Convert LinkedIn Profile to a Resume</h2><br />One convenient built-in profile feature is the “save your profile as a .pdf” button:<br /><a name='more'></a><br />The resulting document looks very nice and could work as a quick resume.<br /><br />But if you need a more traditional resume-like appearance, you’ll want to try the LinkedIn-approved tool at http://resume.linkedinlabs.com/. “Turn your LinkedIn Profile into a beautiful resume in seconds. No more messing around with multiple Word and PDF documents scattered all over the computer. Pick a resume template, customize the content, and print and share the result to your heart’s content.”<br /><br />Search for Recommended Jobs<br /><br />LinkedIn’s “Jobs You May Be Interested In” feature shows jobs that match your profile in one or more characteristics. Find this feature by clicking Jobs at the top of your homepage.<br /><br />Here, you can set your preferences for company type, size, industry, and location by clicking on the icons, top right of page, and answering the screen prompts.<br /><br />Jobs recommend to you are based, in part, on information listed in your profile, and the preferences you set here. If you are not getting the recommended jobs you’d like to see, try changing your filters – remove or add filters to change the results coming to you.<br /><br />Advanced Search for Jobs<br /><br />The advanced job search available on the Jobs page can help you to run a more extensive or custom job search.<br /><br />You can also receive daily or weekly email alerts based on job suggestions.giorgi ylistaurihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01877791169248153250noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2369495865536069808.post-57994689710679665132017-03-08T07:33:00.000-08:002017-04-13T07:33:46.891-07:00How to Get the Most Out of Business Exhibition Shows<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.smallbizviewpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Exhibition-Stand.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.smallbizviewpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Exhibition-Stand.jpg" height="217" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br />If you are thinking of attending an exhibition or trade show for the first time with your company, you can get a lot of advice on various business and marketing blogs. Trade shows provide number of benefits to businesses of all types and sizes. They are a perfect platform to not only get your brand or products noticed but also to network and find new industry connections. However, what you get out of trade show depends on how well prepared you are before going in the show. Here are several tips to keep in mind to get the best return on your investment.<br /><br /><br /><br /><h2>A Creative Exhibition Stand</h2>You will want to draw the attention of people from a distance away, so having an eye-catching exhibition stand is one way that you can draw the crowd. Having a stand built is an investment as you will be able to dismantle it after the event, and use the same display at the next event that you attend. It is worth your time and money to speak to experts in the field of exhibition stands, such as Aspect Exhibitions, reputable UK exhibition stand builders and contractors with over 25 years experience.<br /><br /><h2>Engaging People</h2>As well as having a display which draws people to you, when they are there, you will also need to engage with them. You will want to have people working on your stand that are bright, happy, knowledgeable, and friendly to interact with any potential customers. There are also ways that you can keep people at your stand, which will give your members of staff plenty of time to be able to interact with everyone.<br /><ul><li>Free WiFi</li><li>Drinks</li><li>Food</li><li>Mobile Device Charging Stations</li><li>A Relaxing Area</li></ul><br />If you plan your display creatively, you can draw in people and keep them there, which may go a long way in ensuring that the event that you attend is successful.<a name='more'></a><br /><br /><h2>Checking Out the Competition</h2>An added benefit when you attend an industry show or exhibition is that you are able to see what all of your competitors are doing and even have a chat with them in person. Doing this is an excellent way to make sure that your business remains competitive within the market place; and speaking to competitors about your industry can also be interesting and insightful.<br /><br /><h2>A Worthwhile Investment</h2>Whether you are looking to attend an event to increase sales, contacts, or brand exposure, when you invest wisely and plan an event accordingly, you can potentially gain a massive return on investment. Not every exhibition may be good for your business so before attending an event as an exhibitor, it may be worthwhile visiting the event to see if it is worth attending the following year. Another good reason to speak to competitors is about the events that they attend, and the ones that they think are worthwhile, as well as the ones that are not so lucrative.<br /><br />You will find that there is some element of trial and error involved, but with research and planning, you can make sure that you attend the shows that will have the biggest benefit for your business. So if you do not want to get left behind by your competition, make sure that you create an eye-catching exhibition stand and get yourself and your company noticed!giorgi ylistaurihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01877791169248153250noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2369495865536069808.post-57502444396316565932017-02-26T07:34:00.000-08:002017-04-13T07:34:55.155-07:004 Reasons Why Every Business Owner Should Consider Hiring an MBA<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.smallbizviewpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Hiring.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.smallbizviewpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Hiring.jpg" height="190" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br />Today’s business environment is more competitive than ever. Business owners have to deploy the latest tools and technologies to stay ahead of their competitors and remain relevant in the eyes of their customers. This also means they have to look into ways they can improve their in-house talent pools.<br /><br />However, the number of job applications you receive as a business owner is increasing, and each application presents you with a variety of knowledge skills that are perfect for most positions. In your next round of hiring, you should seriously consider hiring a qualified Master of Business Administration (MBA) graduate. You should also consider acquiring the skills of an MBA yourself through online MBA programs.<br /><br /><br /><br /><h2>1. Introduce Innovative and Creative Thinkers to Your Team</h2>Students who have taken the MBA journey are challenged through real-life issues to think critically as they come up with solutions. The business world today requires that you have innovative thinkers among your employees. That is something that MBA students are required to have developed by the time they graduate from their studies.<br /><br />That MBA employee you hire will introduce a new and informed perspective to the way your business communicates with clients, suppliers and the world in general. An MBA will also play a pivotal role in reviewing current processes, identifying new opportunities and improving your current company practices.<br /><br /><h2>2. MBA Graduates Remain Cool Under Pressure</h2>Many times, potential employees appear at interviews with great resumes and give all the right answers, but when they are put in a challenging situation, they suddenly buckle. Hiring an MBA will give you the assurance that this will not happen. As students, MBAs are often pushed to the limits of themselves and are required to work around tight deadlines to achieve more. This makes them the masters of working with a cool head under pressure – an asset for any business since challenges are a common occurrence at executive level.<br /><a name='more'></a><br /><h2>3. Great Leadership Skills</h2>Academic experience certainly makes a person better suited to take up leadership skills. An online MBA degree holder is in a better position to offer leadership skills to build a team that will take your business to greater heights.<br /><br /><h2>4. A Holistic Approach to Business Processes</h2>MBA programs may differ depending on the business school one has attended. However, the one thing all online MBA programs have in common is that they teach their graduates to look at all of the processes of a business.<br /><br />While many MBAs join a program with a focus on a single area, they graduate with a complete understanding of all business processes. Hiring that MBA graduate not only gives you the added advantage of strategic thinking in your business, but a holistic approach to decision-making, the ideation process and leadership.<br /><br />As you can see, an MBA brings more to your company than you should be missing out on. Stay ahead of your competition and bring in your customers in droves by hiring MBAs in your next round.giorgi ylistaurihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01877791169248153250noreply@blogger.com0
